Default Clutch disengagement issue need help!

So I went to drive my 350z after winter was over and parked it for a week while I did a wrap job, once it was done I wasn’t able to shift into any gear I’ve gotten a new clutch and new slave cylinder and still having the same issue can someone give me a hand on what it could be?
clutch was installed properly, car is a 2006, old clutch pressure plate had broken fingers checked the pedal adjustment and it’s good I’m clueless on what it can be

Are you getting good travel on the clutch fork/slave cylinder? Have you thoroughly bled the clutch hydraulics? Are you able to shift gears with the engine off?

Travels far enough and no air in the system , shifts perfectly fine when engine is off

What replacement clutch did you use?

Have you verified the master cylinder is functioning correctly?

If you still have the OEM spider's nest clutch hard lines, it is extremely easy for air to still be trapped in the system even though you're getting bubble-free fluid out during the bleeding process.

This happened to me when my clutch release fork pivot ball snapped. Happened shortly after a clutch swap; it's like an $8 dealer part and I would always recommend to change it with the clutch swap
